You Never Know Who Is Reading Your Blog

(The laundry room has recieved a little makeover that I will show you very soon)

I recently wrote a post showing part of my laundry room. I showed a shelf unit that I like to stack toilet paper and other necessities on. In my post I mentioned that the only toilet paper I will purchase is Northern. Well I received a thank you email from Northern and they told me they would like to send me a little Thank you gift.

Needless to say I was quite surprised and of course I thanked them.

Two days ago I received something from UPS and guess what it was?……

Northern sent me a whole case of toilet paper!!! Can you believe it.They also sent along a long floral box with a single rose. Guess what the rose was made out of?…. You guessed it, TOILET PAPER!!!!!!

I don’t know about you all, but I was totally shocked and pleasantly surprised!! So you see dear readers you never know who is reading one of your post.

That is quite a pleasant surprise indeed! Although it is nothing glamorous but an unbelievable experience like this will keep me thrilled for a day or two, if I were you! The flower is a lovely touch! :) The kind people at Northern are so creative as well!

This is a riot!!!!!!! Love that they did that, says a lot about the kind of company they are and I impressed!! Goes to show there ARE some brains still running some of these companies afterall. I am going to go now write about a first class trip I want to take through Europe if I mention the airlines do you think they will send me a pair of tickets? LOL......fingers crossed but seriously this was a great story...

You got that right. I just got a call from Christopher Moore, he designs wallpaper for the lee Jofa Company.He called from New Zealand. He wants to photograph 2 of my rooms for a book he is doing on his designs. Go figure. Oh yes, one can never have too much TP.

*** Ahhhh, the "WAYS of the BUSINESS WORLD", huh??? This is delightful and OH-SO-"FUNNY"!!!

I am a turquoise addict (as in the stone AND in clothes!), Kathysue... Soooo, hmmmmm, you've got ME a thinkin' it's time to FIIIINALLY start a blog, w/ the first posting showing the incredible turquoise & silver (and coral & other fab stones) to be found, appreciated and purchased here in AZ... Alas, SOMEhow I don't think it would float re a "complimentary necklace, earings or bracelet", do you?

ANYHOOOOO, I can PICTURE you (1) receiving this "THANK YOU" and (2) thinking, "Allll this work to provide a great blog for others, and I get a CASE OF TP???? THAT'S my 15 MINUTES?"... And I'MA THINKIN', hey, thank HEAVENS there I*S TP in the world!!! Chuckles~~~

I'd say "ENJOY", but SOMEHOW that seems "odd" with a "gifting" like that, girlfriend!!!

Kathysue, this post totally made me smile! How cute! Perhaps you could get a commercial out of it!! They could use a new spokesperson... don't they currently have cartoon bears? Maybe that's Charmin! xo

Love the toilet paper rose. :o) I agree that you just never know who's out there. Every once in a while someone I know will mention that they read my blog. I'm always so shocked...I guess I thought only other bloggers would be interested. Obviously not so!
